ST. GEORGE — The owner of a dog shot three times by a St. George policeman earlier this week says the officer’s actions were excessive.

Sherill Brinkerhoff says her 15-month-old Blue Heeler/Pit mix named Loki is expected to fully recover if he gets leg surgery. The family tells KUTV-TV they can’t afford the surgery and have surrendered Loki to the Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab.
